"PODS is happy to play a part in helping to store the free books for the 3,000 children that will attend StoryFest," expresses Steve Yapp, local PODS franchise owner. "We love to help out the local community especially an event like Storyfest that helps to prepare younger children for school." The event will give out free books in the six storytelling tents that will have books read in English, Spanish and American Sign Language. Families and their children can also participate in other various activities such as signing up for library cards, book giveaways, musical activities, and a truckfest that will allow children the opportunity to get up close and touch trucks.
